Balekai Palya or Raw Plantain Stir-Fry

Balyekai palya or raw plantain stir-fry is a simple dish that tastes great with roti, rice-dal or curd rice. This dish is made with just a handful of ingredients and is ready in less than 20 minutes. The important step is to cook the plantain without adding any water as adding water turns them mushy. Covering and letting them cook in the oil and steam gives you well-cooked plantains with perfect texture. I use coconut oil to cook this dish as it adds a nice flavour but you may use any regular cooking oil.

I have earlier shared the recipes for making kofta and bajji or fritters with plantain. Try this easy stir-fry with your lunch or dinner and enjoy.
